Molecular Electronics

Molecular electronics is a field of study that combines chemistry and electronics to use molecules as electronic components. Instead of traditional materials like silicon, it focuses on the unique properties of individual molecules or small groups of molecules to create devices like transistors, sensors, and memory storage. These molecular components can be incredibly small, potentially leading to faster and more energy-efficient technologies. By harnessing the behavior of molecules, researchers aim to develop novel electronic devices that could revolutionize computing, communications, and other industries in the future.
